  • Iberdrola/Avangrid: Spread


Iberdrola/Avangrid: Spread

By Jesus Rodriguez Aguilar

  • Post-March announcement, investors bought shares of Avangrid (AGR US)  in the hope of an offer sweetening, which was flagged here, as Iberdrola got $6 billion from its Mexico exit.
  • The improved $35.75/shareoffer was made in response to potential resistance from prospective minority shareholders, as the deal needs the approval of a majority of these non-Iberdrola stakeholders.
  • Spread is 3.2%/5.55% (gross/annualised) assuming $1.4667 in dividend payments (three dividends of $0.44 and a prorated dividend of $0.1467) and settlement on 30 December. Long.
